O'Reilly Auto Parts purchased the site of a former fast-food restaurant in Queensbury, New York, for $800,000.

The nation's third-largest auto parts retailer has invested $2.8 million, acquiring four properties in Albany, Saratoga and Warren counties over the past 10 months. The investments come as the company makes an aggressive push into the region that will include a proposed retail store and warehouse at 1929 Central Ave. in Colonie.

O'Reilly is preparing to build stores in East Greenbush, Queensbury, South Glens Falls and Schenectady. Two stores are planned on Central Avenue in Colonie.

The company's latest purchase in the region was a three-quarter acre property at 682 Glen St. that was acquired from J&T Tsai Inc. for $800,000, according to a deed filed Thursday with the Warren County clerk's office. Bruce Ginsburg and Peter VanBortel of IKON Realty Group in Albany brokered the sale.

The property is the former site of the Fx3 Fit Food Fast restaurant. The property also served as a Friendly's Restaurant.

O'Reilly's, a publicly-traded Springfield, Missouri, retail chain (NASDAQ: ORLY) has said it plans to open 190 stores across the United States this year.

      Photo caption: Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association (pictured on the right), teaches an automotive aftermarket course during a recent visit to Northwood University in Midland, Michigan.
      Leaders from the Auto Care Association recently visited Northwood University to meet with students enrolled in automotive aftermarket courses.
      Auto Care President and CEO Bill Hanvey was the guest lecturer for several Northwood University automotive aftermarket courses at its Midland, Michigan, campus, alongside several Auto Care Association team members.
      “One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is preparing the next generation of leadership for our industry,” said Hanvey. “Northwood University students are engaging, intelligent and care deeply about their career potential. The entire university staff is fully invested in their success and opportunities for industry leaders to share their experiences with the students are invaluable for the students and the executive as well. We are thrilled at the level of collaboration between Northwood and Auto Care to bring necessary training and education to the men and women both in the industry now, and those considering a career in the future.”
      Hanvey was joined by Ted Hughes, senior director, community engagement, Auto Care Association and executive director, Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA); Amanda Bischoping, director, education, Auto Care Association; and Jonathan Larsen, vice president, standards and digital products, Auto Care Association. 
      The Auto Care Association team met with students enrolled in the following courses: 
      Aftermarket Manufacturing Management, which explores the role manufacturers play in the aftermarket and what business functions they employ; Category Management, which prepares students for the role of product manager through inventory modeling techniques and data analysis; and  Aftermarket management research, which teaches students research techniques to form a hypothesis and sample the data to reject or not reject the hypothesis. “Northwood University is beyond grateful for the Auto Care Association team,” stated Thomas Litzinger, executive director, University of the Aftermarket and Northwood University aftermarket industry chair. “We appreciate the team coming to campus and interacting with our students. It is very beneficial and meaningful for our students to meet industry executives, learn about the aftermarket on such a high level, and discover their passion and dedication to our industry. Experiential learning opportunities like this are what set our students apart and help them become the future leaders of our industry.”
      The global market value of the aftermarket industry currently exceeds $400 billion. Northwood’s

Students in this program are fueled by their passions for cars, the aftermarket and turning their passion into a future career.  The program has a nearly 100% employment rate for all graduates in the program, according to Northwood.  
      James O’Dell, assistant director, aftermarket education, Northwood University, noted that part of its students’ success is because Northwood helps them engage in real-world experiences and to network with industry leaders such as Hanvey, Hughes, Bischoping and Larsen.

      The ASE Education Foundation is partnering with auto dealer associations to conduct student automotive competitions designed to increase awareness of career opportunities in the automotive industry.
      “The goal of the student competitions is to connect businesses with schools and increase the interest of students, encouraging them to work and stay within the automotive field,” said Mike Coley, ASE Education Foundation president. “The most recent competition was held in December in Texas and was a big success with 40 teams competing and over 700 students participating in a career fair. These types of events are another way the ASE Education Foundation is working to reduce the industry’s technician shortage.”
      Three student competitions are currently scheduled for 2024, with more being planned. Competitions are scheduled for March in Charlotte and the fall in Houston.
      During the December event at Texas Motor Speedway, 117 high school seniors from ASE accredited training programs competed in the North Texas Automobile Dealers Auto Tech Competition. Dealer technicians were paired with each of the 40 teams for several weeks leading up to the event, which featured students trying to diagnose and repair bugged vehicles where the problems were notated on repair orders.
      The competition format is flexible and can be modified for local or organizational needs. Unlike traditional student competitions where school instructors train and prepare students, these competitions are based on a partnership between schools and the local businesses.
      The students selected for the competition job-shadow at a local employer’s service facility and prepare for the contest alongside the technicians in the shop. A list of specific skills for the students to experience is provided to each employer.
      The goal is to provide real-world experience to the students while exposing them to job opportunities in the local market, the foundation noted.  
      To learn more about the student competitions, contact George Arrants, vice president of the ASE Education Foundation, at [email protected].
